Event Details
It's not about getting older, it's about living younger longer
Global life expectancy is on the rise. It is imperative to plan for the impact on our professional and personal lives as we could be working more than ten to fifteen years past the traditional retirement age.
As we say farewell to the traditional three life stages of education, work and retirement, the employer and the employee need to work together to prepare ourselves and our organisations for a world disrupted by technology, a shortage of STEAM educated and skilled talent alongside the huge demographic shift as the Baby Boomer generation fully retires from the workforce. Research stresses the importance of happiness, health, resilience and well-being to keeping ourselves energised, productive and able to live younger, longer.
